For the second summer, Noorily and Kahn are making their shave ice cart a regular fixture at both public pools in Tenafly. They also want their business, called Ravin Shavin Ice, to be a presence at events throughout town, like the Tenafly 5K Run, today's Memorial Day Parade and the Fourth of July Fireworks.

Noorily and Kahn, who live on the same street and have been best friends as long as they can remember, have been dreaming up business ideas since they were 8. In fact, they used money from their last venture, a custom skateboard business, to help pay for the cart, shave ice machine and other equipment they use for Ravin Shavin Ice.

But none of their ideas have taken off like this one.

Noorily first saw a shave ice cart while visiting his grandparents in Maryland.

"I thought it would be such a cool idea for me and Pryor to try," Noorily said.

Noorily's dad, a surgeon, built them the cart. Kahn's dad, an intellectual property lawyer, helped them get Ravin Shavin Ice trademarked.

Noorily and Kahn went through the process of getting a business license, an insurance policy and approval from the town health department. They also both got food handling licenses.

"We had to sit through a four-hour class," Kahn said.

The two borrowed money from their parents for a shave ice machine.. Their parents made their money back quickly, though.

"We paid my parents back in probably the first few days," Noorily said.

The two sell about 200 cups after a normal day at the pool or Friday after school. But at larger events, like the Spring Fair held by the Jenna's Rainbow Foundation (to which they donated 75% of their profits) or the Tenafly Street Fair, they sell as many as 400 cups in a day.

So far, they've managed to do it all while keeping up with their school work. Noorily attends Tenafly Middle School, while Kahn started at Dwight-Englewood this year.

"It's difficult," Kahn said of the balance between school and work. "But I'm good at managing my school work so I get it done pretty well."

This summer the two are raising prices from $2 to $3 a cup to reflect the new biodegradable, but pricer, cups they're using. The two hope to improve on their first summer running the business.

"Our goal is to be out a lot during the summer, sell some good shave ice and basically just have a lot of fun," Noorily said.
